Penne with Broccoli pesto


Ingredients:

Penne pasta - 250 gms
Capsicum - 1
Red bell pepper - 1
Yellow bell pepper - 1
Broccoli - small
Onion - 1 (small)
Garlic cloves - 6 (big)
Salt - as you wish
Pepper - as you wish
Seasoning - as you wish





How to make:
  1. Boil salt water and add pasta to it.
  2. Add broccoli to this after 5 minutes 
  3. After 5 minutes, drain the pasta and broccoli
  4. Wash pasta in cold water and set aside
  5. Make broccoli into paste (No technology, use mortar and pestle)
  6. On a pan, take oil and fry the chopped garlic
  7. Chop onions in sticks and fry in the pan till sauté
  8. Add the chopped bell peppers and capsicum
  9. After the bell peppers are cooked, add the broccoli paste
  10. Once you see, the raw feel has gone, add pasta
  11. Add salt and pepper
  12. Add seasoning of your choice
Verdict: 

I have Indianized for my little sister, adding garam masala and coriander powder. You should add oregano and chilli flakes to get the authentic Italian taste. I finally got a wet pasta right and this is delicious, of course if you are into pasta. I just loved cooking with bell peppers. They are simply elegant. :) And yeah, I should learn to cook penne without breaking it.
